With a house full of teenagers, we knew the console tables in our games room had to be tough. And these are! Strong and durable. Even when our teenage son was sitting on it! However, there were some inconsistencies. One table rail has an extra hole. I thought it might be to secure it against another table or a wall, but the other table doesn’t have that hole. One table came with black screws, the other with brass (and they don’t counter sink under the top, so you scratch your legs on them when sitting on the stool). stain doesn’t quite cover the sides. They included a screw driver to aid in assembly. But one table came with a slot head instead of the necessary Phillips. The top rails also aren’t parallel with the side. Four stars for function and durability. One star off for all the minor flaws and annoyances.
